18 Hours of Fruita Race Course // Highline Lake Loop // Fruita, CO
Fruita, CO- Mountain biking the Highline Lake Loop at Highline State Park in Loma, CO. The course for the 18 hours of Fruita race. Brought to you by popular demand in the comments!
Disclaimer: I’ve never participated in the 18 hours race, I’m simply putting the film in to help viewers obtain a grasp of the nature of the trail and what to expect. Routes and exact details are subject to the design of the event.
18 hours of Fruita:
Fruita Fat Tire Festival:
Description: The Highline Lake Loop is a roller coaster track that creatively follows the drainage contours of the Highline Lake and Mack Mesa Reservoirs. Expect the trail to ride a lot like trails at the 18 Road/North Fruita Deserts singletrack as it sits on the same Mancos Shale Formation. There’s not much for technical features, no big jumps, drops, or chunky rollers, simply fast and flowy sections of singletrack with mundane climbs. However, the entirety of the loop does not consist of only singletrack, there are a few short sections of double track, gravel and paved road. But, don’t let that deter you, there is still plenty of interesting features along the landscape including the vistas, the wildlife, and flowy sections of downhill trail. I rate the trail as a beginner track, even though many outlets rate course intermediate.
The Park: A daily price with cost a recreational user $7 and much more for an annual pass. Any Colorado State Park Annual Pass will grant access to the park. There is camping and other recreational options for park useage such as fishing and boating. Exceptions to fees and camping are usually made during the 18 Hours of Fruita Race, be sure to check out the listed webstite for more details on those specifics.

PBR is a green beginner trail that everyone loves. Even though is has an easy rating, it's a really fun trail to bomb. PBR is a 2 mile downhill trail only with no climbing on the descent. PBR is best served fast and cold.
To access, use either the 18 Road and take a right at the roundabout to Frontside or Primecut (I'm not sure what this short section actually is named) and take the route to a 4 way intersection with Primecut, Chutes and Ladders, and PBR. The standard single track route leads up Primecut to that intersection with PBR being on the East Fork of the junction. We took the road. Finally, if you are interested in the Primecut, I have some short clips in the Zippety Do Dah Video.
The trail rides fast and there are a multitude of small jump and tight turns. There is nothing technical about PBR so it's a great trail to ride with introductory riders. Because PBR is one of 18 road's most popular trail it will require some patience. If you want to bomb the trail, pick times early in the morning or late in the evening during peak season, fringe season windows, or the heat of the day in mid summer. Overall, even for the most elite riders, the speed is definitely fun.

Fruita, Colorado . Road 18. Pumps, Bumps, and Rollers. Boondocking on BLM in Colorado
After over a month in the eastern portion of Utah we moved onto Colorado looking for a little spring. We didn't find spring but we did find some great boondocking in Fruita, Colorado and enjoyed a little grass for the first time in months
Road 18 just north of town offers BLM land for hiking, biking, and camping. There is a paid campground with pit toilets or off the grid camping right at the trail heads to awesome mountain biking and hiking.
Fruita is an adorable little town with a downtown of local coffee shops and restaurants, a brewery, and bike rentals. For any big box needs Grand Junction is nearby with most everything you need.
